Even this time no cost or effort is too much to present you a delightful line up with no others then HERTZ from Sweden, DA FRESH from France, HENNING RICHTER from Cologne Germany and of course DR. MOTTE – the ‘Father Of The Loveparade’ – from Berlin Germany.

Originator of the Hertz-project is the famous Swedish producer Pierre J. In 2001 he laid the foundation of what would become a tale of success. Several hits have been released on major key labels and the Hertz-imprint has gained respect from the techno scene’s elite DJ’s. In 2007 Pierre invited the Swedish producer Petter B into the studio and the result was not only a close friendship but also formed a solid production team. Ater working together on numerous releases, there ideas triggered the evolution of Hertz from being a solo-project into becoming a duo.This was the start of the new era of Hertz, including both Pierre and Petter.

Traditional course of a young man who grew in the eighties… Born in a small french provincial town, middle class music lovers family, big brother as teacher and dealer of good sounds, Arnaud (his real surname) will quickly combine a passion for the music with an immoderate taste for computers and music machines. Afterwards attempts of rock band quickly fallen through, strong of the traditional high-school pupil influences of the time (The Cure, Anne Clark, Depeche Mode…), the young man will succumb very quickly to the french touch success in the nineties. Fascinated by the “Homework” of Daft Punk or the “Pansoul” of Motorbass, then student in an art school, it’s under the name of Da Fresh that he will begin the first tentatives of solo composition. Determined and hard worker, he will produce quickly the titles which will launch him on the international electronic music scene : his first album “Supa Feeling” released in 2002 on the Lyon based label Weaked Records will receive excellent criticisms, the hit “Fuckin Track” will make the remainder… Then he will be divided between a full-time job of DJ, while keeping a real knowledge of producer and remixer. Oriented to originality and effectiveness : he always continues with a lot of tracks (Broken Dream, Spaghetti Groove, Age Of Love, Yesterday, Right On Time, Once Again…) and remixes for great labels (1605, Definitive, Toolroom, Armada, Funk Farm, Hot Fingers, BluFin, Moonbeam Digital…), and create his own label Freshin Records.
